  • Analyzing the sintering process of equally sized nanoparticles (EPs) and unequally sized nanoparticles (UPs).

    • Main Results:

    • Unequally sized nanoparticles (UPs) exhibit enhanced sintering due to the wetting of smaller nanoparticles on larger ones.
    • A sintering angle (θ) is proposed as an effective index for estimating UPs sintering outcomes.
    • Three basic and one advanced sintering modes in MP sintering were identified and analyzed.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides theoretical insights into the roles of different-sized nanoparticles in multisized nanoparticle sintering.
    • Findings support the optimization of conductive ink composition and sintering processes.
    • Molecular dynamics simulations offer a powerful tool for understanding complex nanoparticle interactions.
